From the outside, America seems to be having a nervous breakdown

[Joe Nation]

From irrational behavior to unpredictable outbursts to inexplicable attacks on our friends and allies, the America that the rest of the world sees seems to be having a nervous breakdown of a sort. Whether America is cuddling up to dictators and tyrants or doing self-harm to its own economy and hurting others in the process, we have clearly lost the ability to function rationally on the world stage. A routine wellness check is already long over due. What the American public needs to do at this point is an intervention.

1. Oh an intervention is needed.

[Irish_Dem]

2. The intervention will happen soon.

The consequences of all the cuts will hit Americans hard.

[birdographer]

6. And for absolutely NO REASON

There is no reason for any of this except cruelty and greed. If Harris had won, NONE of this would be happening, because it is all totally unnecessary. They are stealing money from our poorest citizens only to line their pockets. This is not going anywhere positive or helpful to the country, it is only for the 0.1% to have more billions of dollars.

Yeah, intervention. Let’s call it that...

7. The PutinGOP is a crime syndicate and Trump is the mob boss.

They are psychopaths who will commit as many crimes as possible.

Many Americans want this, they voted for it.

So yes they will have an intervention of sorts when the shit hits the fan.

3. Or, could we be witnessing societal collapse?

Jist asking, but it seems that way to me sometimes.

4. Ridding the nation of Trump and his accomplices would be cathartic.

5. It's even worse on the inside.

It's like living in a house where all the systems are starting to fail at once. The lights flicker, the furnace heats only intermittently if at all, small appliances randomly emit smoke and occasionally catch fire, the garage door opener stops working, doors stick shut for no reason, floorboards sag, smoke detectors beep all night even after you change the batteries, the toilet runs and there's no hot water for the shower except when the water is too hot, the dryer doesn't dry and the washer doesn't wash, water drips from a ceiling light fixture and the dishwasher leaks. The only channel you can get on TV is Fox and the only radio station you can pick up is local AM hate radio. You can't get anything fixed because repair people won't come to the house, not that you could afford repairs anyhow. You can't sell the place and you have nowhere else to live and it keeps getting worse.

8. That's putting it mildly...

I feel like we're the kids of drug or alcohol addled parents...and the folks are on a hell of a bender!

9. Trump is at the epicenter of America's nervous breakdown.

I miss Sleepy Joe.

10. Feels like we are on a huge cargo ship with a madman steering towards the rocks, while musk

Is in the bilge drilling holes in the hull, breaking the pumps, and disabling the engines with a sledge hammer.

Meanwhile nasty pirates have thrown all the food overboard, as well as the life jackets.
